Remember "You are the Gift"

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. I just posted some things to remember over on my blog that could make the holidays go a little more smoothly. And of course most of all remember what Lore Caldwell taught us at 14 Secrets: You are the gift!

The 14 Secrets for a Happy Artist's Life is all about art making, art exchange, and making ourselves happy with art. We are a group of artists that share, swap, exchange and inspire all things artistic from artist's trading cards to fat books and puppets, mostly through our postal services. We have a yahoo group here.

The 14 Secrets

1. Find 3 good things every day, whether they are experiences, or objects, or both. Find a way to use them in art. 2. Make everything special. Embellish your life. 3. Look for Fairy God-mothers and Angels. Be ready for experiences that will delight and surprise you. 4. Play more often. 5. Look for the smiling faces. 6. Wish everyone a happy life. 7. Find something to love about where you are everyday. 8. Make art everyday. 9. Create time for yourself. 10. Honor thy grandmothers as much as possible. (Of course grandfathers need honor too, but historically and culturally we are a little weaker in the honoring grandmother side of things.) 11. Play with the grandchildren as much as possible. 12. Create beauty with what you have on hand. 13. Make art with friends. Make art as gifts. 14. Create a list of secrets for a happy life and pass it on.
